Part 1: The Hidden of Cora Chapter 13: A Special Welcome (2)
Fifteen square meters of surveillance room, without any shelter, the only table where he could hide was behind the major general, but Stuart could never have been there.
The major general closed his eyes, hearing was far more important than sight in this pitch black environment.
The major general squatted slowly, his left arm bent in front of his chest, his right arm drooping unnaturally, and a dagger slipped from the cuff of the major general's right arm into his hand.
The extremely subtle air flow surged, and the major general subconsciously rolled to the right, and in the next second, Stuart's figure appeared in the position of the major general, and the dagger in his hand slashed down, but it was cut into the air.
Seeing the gap between Stuart retracting his arm, the Major General swept in with a heavy leg, and the Major General was so confident in his attack that he once swept through a brick and concrete wall with his leg.
The strong wind pressure hit, Stuart swirled his arm, and the blade of the dagger was facing the heavy leg of the major general, and if the major general did not retract his leg, the sharp dagger would pierce directly into the skin and hit the major general hard.
Sparks flew around, and the blade seemed to hit the metal, and then it came out of its hand, spun and fell to the ground.
Before Stuart could make any more moves, the Major General suddenly struck out and swung his dagger at Stuart's throat.
The battle ended in an instant, and the Major General distanced himself from Stuart, and the wheezing of the two echoed in the darkness.
"You're cheating!" the Major General gritted his teeth.
"Abilities are also part of the strength of the aliens. "I remember telling you that in battle, you have to stop at nothing to win. ”
The major general slowly pulled out the magnetic card, the steel door rose, and the lights came on.
Stuart had a faint streak of blood on his chest, and the Major General's trousers had a hole in it, revealing a metallic mechanical prosthetic inside.
The timing of the major general's dagger stabbing at Stuart was very appropriate, just when Stuart's old strength was exhausted and the new power was not born, if it was someone else, his throat would have been cut by the sharp blade, but at the moment when the major general was about to succeed, indescribable fear bloomed in the heart of the major general, and the dagger shifted direction.
"But we've said we're not allowed to use any abilities in future duels. The Major General still had a cold face.
"It used to be, but now it's different," Stuart protested, "and it's you who broke the rules first." ”
The frost on the major general's face suddenly melted, he smiled brightly, and stepped forward to hug Stuart, "Long time no see, teacher!"
"Long time no see, Vladimir. ”
Stuart looked at Vladimir's mechanical prosthetic, "When did it happen, and why didn't you tell me?"
"During a mission, an innocent civilian accidentally stepped on a mine, and there were no sappers in the reinforcement team, so I replaced the hostages and defused the mine myself, but I didn't expect the mine to detonate prematurely and blow off one of my legs. Vladimir's tone was flat.
"You should inform me, the organization can give you more options than ......" Stuart was a little distressed.
"Disability?" Vladimir chuckled, "I'm not a member of the Order, but I'm sure you could have given me a better option, but it's not what I'......m looking for," Vladimir paused, "I love this metal prosthetic, it's a punishment for my arrogance, and it makes me remember my mistakes all the time." ”
"In this world, everyone has their own choices, teacher. Vladimir looked at Stuart.
"You're right, everyone has their own choice. Stuart touched Vladimir's head, "Others, have no right to interfere." ”
Stuart turned to look at the monitor, stunned, and his tone trembled slightly, "Are you sure the things in that little dark room are just bed bugs?"
"What's wrong?"
Vladimir came to Stuart's side, followed Stuart's gaze, and in the surveillance, Song Yuan was curled up in the corner, and the dense bed bugs were taking a step in front of him, refusing to approach.
They were tumulting, they seemed to be eager, they seemed to be terrified.
"These bed bugs have been specially genetically modified, and they have a fanatical homicidal appetite for aliens, which they shouldn't be...... They weren't supposed to. Vladimir shook his head unconsciously.
"That's why I brought him here. "There are more advanced methods at Europa HQ, but the people there are unreliable, but now it seems that his ability is related to the death element." ”
"Death elemental abilities like you......" Vladimir pondered, "when did the rare death elemental abilities start rotting the streets?"
"I'm just guessing that he didn't awaken any abilities during the Awakening Ritual. ”
"Since there is no way to determine her identity," Vladimir stretched out his hand to make a knife shape, "do you want me to find a way......"
"No," Stuart pressed Vladimir's hand, "if you kill him, I'm sure the priest will kill you at all costs." ”
Vladimir was silent.
He was well aware of his importance to the organization, and in fourteen years, he had gone from an ordinary second lieutenant to a top-level figure in the East Slavic Principality, and the organization's efforts were unimaginable. For the past fourteen years, the organization has been infiltrating the management of the East Slavic Principalities, but to this day Vladimir is still the most important line of the organization in the East Slavic Principalities.
Vladimir sighed, it was hard to imagine that the priest would give up so many years of work for the sake of an unidentified person.
"In addition, Ivanov of the East Slavic Division appeared in Murmansk the other day, and I invited him to a reception for you," Vladimir said, "and some people are interested in what is in the Kola well. ”
"Ivanov, but an opportunistic bastard," Stuart stood in front of the window, the sun shining on his face, and he opened his arms as if to embrace the blue sky, "I have the illusion that the world is ...... It's going to change. ”
In the evening, Eichenwald.
It used to be a quiet and peaceful town, located in the middle of the forest, with only a narrow bluestone road leading to the outside world. Later, the flames of war spread to the town, and the townspeople fled, and when the war ended, they never returned, leaving only this deserted and uninhabited town.
Standing on the street of the town, close your eyes and listen, you will hear the fresh life of the birds, and you can have the fragrance of birds and flowers when you look around the curtain.
In the center of the town is a magnificent church, in front of which two statues of gods several meters high seem to tell of the glory of the past.
A black Volkswagen van stopped in front of the church along the bluestone path, the door of the back seat slowly opened, and an old man in a black robe got out of the car and walked into the church.
A young man who looked like a butler quickly ran out of the church, nodding to the old man.
"I'm not late, am I?" the old man asked.
"It's been a long time since you've been here, and everyone thought you weren't going to be here today, so the meeting has begun. The young man stretched out his hand and motioned for the old man to come in.
This church is home to the headquarters of Hidden Fog Europa.
At a depth of 100 meters underground, there is a huge conference room, and a round table is placed in the center of the conference room, and around the round table sit a very old face, and the crystal lamp above the head lights up with a dim light, shining on their faces, like a piece of old bacon. Each of them wore a black robe with a dark gold eagle badge on their chest.
The ministers could only stand and attend, their expressions serious and their faces sinking like water. The respective assistants standing behind them held their heads high, their excitement overflowing, and their eyes looking at the round table were almost fanatical with admiration and yearning.
The Presbyterian Church of the Hidden Mist, the most mysterious existence of the Hidden Mist, can be called the living history of the continent of Europa, and the family they represent has ruled the continent alternately for thousands of years, dating back to the Holy Roman Empire in the first year of the Common Era.
Ulbury opened his eyes to the only empty seat at the round table, which had been empty for eighteen years, and this time seemed to be no exception.
"Guys, let's get started. ”
"Is the message accurate?" someone knocked on the table, and it was Albrecht who spoke. He hunched his waist slightly, holding a civilized stick in both hands, and exuding the aura of a tyrant who looks down on the world.
The head of the technical department, Kersma, took a step forward, "The technical department analyzed the information from Vladimir, and there was indeed an abnormality in the Kola deep well. ”
Kesma paused slightly, took the laptop handed over by the assistant, and swiped lightly on the touchpad, and a comparison chart was projected on the projection screen, "We compared the data from fourteen years ago, and the changes in the Kola deep well this time are the same as those of fourteen years ago." ”
An oppressive atmosphere spread through the conference room, and the events on the Kola Peninsula fourteen years ago were the scars that Hidden Fog was most reluctant to reveal, and this incident gave Hidden Fog a taste of failure for the first time in thousands of years since its founding.
At that time, Kersma was the first head of the Technology Department, and during a routine data stream analysis, they accidentally obtained an email, and after investigation, Kersma confirmed the authenticity of the email, so she reported the matter to the Presbyterian Church.
The Council of Elders was shocked by this, because the Korra ultra-deep well itself was planned by the Council of Elders, and it was indeed a burial ground for gods, a place where the Hidden Mist had guarded for generations. With the continuous progress of society, the elders at that time were worried that one day humans would discover it, so they decided to secretly transfer the burial place of the gods thirty-seven years ago, which should have been unaware, but the appearance of this email means that someone has leaked the secret of the deep well of Kola.
After investigation, it was confirmed that the source of the email was on the Kola Peninsula, and no one in the entire Murmansk region knew the true purpose of the Kola ultra-deep well, and some people suspected that the project leader of the Kola deep well, Dimir Asagov, leaked the information, but there was no evidence.
In order to prevent the secret of the burial place from being revealed, the Council of Elders decided to transfer the burial place of the god in the deep well of Kola, and sent an elite team led by Stuart, and arranged for the dark department to respond to the nearby case to ensure that the transfer work was foolproof.
But they didn't expect that less than a day after Stuart and others entered the Kola ultra-deep drilling well, there was an explosion in the Kola ultra-deep drilling well, and the elite team was killed and injured.
Leohard stepped forward, looked at Ulbury for a few seconds, and then slowly spoke, "This morning, the shadows received news that a reconnaissance team sent by Vladimir was missing in the deep well of Kola. ”
Leohard's voice fell, and the room fell silent.
It's the same as it was 14 years ago!
"I suggest contacting Vladimir immediately and sending a shadow ministry to investigate. Albrecht suggested, "We cannot repeat the mistakes we made fourteen years ago." ”
The door to the conference room was gently pushed open, and all eyes were focused on the old man standing in the doorway.
The members of the Council of Elders stood up one after another, and there was a faint hint of surprise in the eyes of Grand Elder Ulbury, the man who hadn't appeared at the headquarters for eighteen years had finally arrived.
"Sorry, I'm late. The old man bowed slightly and apologized, then sat down slowly on the only empty seat at the round table.
"Reverend, I thought you old thing would never set foot in here in your life!" Ulbury scolded.
"It's a rare opportunity to see an old friend, how could I miss it?" the pastor smiled at the rest of the Presbyterian Church.
"I don't think you're here just to see old friends," Albrecht snorted, "You can't be unaware of what happened in the deep well of Kola. ”
"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have come. ”
"Tell me what you think. Ulbury spoke.
"If you stand still, I'll go to the Kola Peninsula myself. ”
"Are you alone?" Knocking on the table with Isaiah Stuart, who was Frederick Stuart's grandfather, "I admit that your pastor is still in good condition, but you are only one man, and there are some things that are not suitable for you to solve." ”
"Of course I understood, so I asked Stuart and Preston to go to the Kola Well with a couple of newcomers from Castle Geofein to assist me. ”
"Rookie?" Albrecht scoffed, he had always been at odds with the priest, "Fourteen years ago, the most elite tactical team of the Hidden Mist did not return safely......
Before Albrest could finish speaking, Isaiah spoke, "I will not allow my grandson to enter that kind of place again, and the Stuart family cannot afford such a loss. ”
"It's a little late to say that at this point, they guess they're already on the Kola Peninsula now," the priest smiled and turned his gaze back to Albrecht, "By the way, Inas was also involved in the operation. ”
